[Free Registration/Login Required] A series of three lesson plans designed to teach learners to retell and summarize a fiction story told in chronological order and a story told with flashback. Lessons are based on the books First Day...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers how to find a pattern and write a recursive rule. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice and attempt practice problems.

A series of slides discussing the mathematical limit of a sequence. The slideshow is straight-forward, providing terminology and examples of how to find sequence limits. The slideshow goes on to discuss series, and more.

Evaluate finite geometric series given in sigma notation, recursively, or explicitly. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A demonstration of Alcuin's Sequence.

Get independent practice working with geometric series. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

In this activity, students learn to identify geometric series. They determine if a sequence converges and also learn to calculate the sum of numbers in a geometric series.

Students learn about geometric and telescoping series and the relationship between the sequence of partial sums of a series and its sum. They then use the CAS of their TI-89 and calculus to determine the sum of these series.

Learn about a power series with this handy reference guide. Provides detailed definitions, examples, and animations that enhance further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

Learn about the alternating series test with this helpful reference tool. Provides a detailed definition and examples that enhance further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

Discrete mathematics deals with areas of mathematics that are discrete, as opposed to continuous, in nature. Sequences and series, counting problems, graph theory and set theory are some of the many branches of mathematics in this...

This algebra lesson explains geometric sequences.

An algebra tutorial which explains arithmetic sequences.

Learn how mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss figured out how to sum up any arithmetic sequence without having to add up each and every term. This video focuses on using your critical thinking to follow along as Gauss determines his...

Lists and describes several types of graphic organizers which fall under the "sequence" mold, including a ranking table, continuum scale, cycle, bridging snapshots, series of events chain, and a problem/solution outline.

Listen to an explanation about the series of events in Cinderella. Then look at some pictures where the story's events are all mixed up and put them in the correct order.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A series of three lesson plans designed to teach students to recognize the beginning and ending of a story and use word clues to put story events into the correct sequence. Lessons are based on the...

Gain an understanding of the geometric sequences of numbers by viewing an example and a video lesson.

Here, students can practice solving word problems involving a finite geometric series. They receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students must identify a simple pattern in a series of numbers and continue the pattern. Includes video demonstrating a sample problem...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this learning module, students are presented with a series of decimal numbers and must identify the pattern and fill in the missing numbers. Includes video...

This algebra lesson explains Gauss's Problem and introduces arithmetic series.
